I too am crossing all imaginable! Wishing you a most successful surgery!
Thanks everybody. I’m glad im not the only one that feels like this sometimes. I do know they are trying to help and be nice, but sometimes I just feel like i want them to stop and treat me like a normal person. Like if they ask “how are you doing” and i say “im doing ok!”, then they should leave it at that and not ask “are you really doing ok?”. Some people just don’t get the hint, i guess.
I’m trying to not get annoyed at people since i know they care, but some days its harder than others. I just have to try to be more understanding of how uncomfortable the whole thing probably makes them too.
Lainy – Teddy sounds like he was such a cutie
Oh dear, I’m so sorry that you have to deal with horrible people stealing your stuff. Can you maybe install some of those “fake” surveylance cameras and motion sensing lights outside to deter the jerks stealing your stuff? Or how about installing a security system at your house? Do you at least leave 1 light on in the house when you are not there? We have used those timers on occasion to make it look like someone was home.
In regards to the W word, i dont have experience with it, but Wayne will always be your husband no matter how the drs or the government defines you. They may call you a W, but you will always be M in your heart.
Could you possibly hire a local handy-man to help you with things around the house and fix the lawn mowers? Or a small local landscaping company may be able to cut your lawn for you for not very much. My father-in-law runs one and he only charges $35 a lawn, and that’s a once-a-week cut.
And you ARE NOT a failure in this new world – you are doing just fine and the issues you are facing are understandable given the situation (well aside from people stealing – thats just mean!). Hang in there, hope things start to get more sunny
Melanie – I’m so sorry for your loss
I know everything seems so raw right now, especially with having to make all the funeral arrangements. That was my “numb time” when my dad passed. It really didn’t hit me until that commotion was over and I had to get back to my “normal life”. Like Lainy always says, i’m trying to make my “new normal”. Its a struggle every day, but knowing that my dad would want me to move on and lead a happy life without him is comforting. I’m sure your husband wanted the same for you and your kids.
I’m thinking about you guys a lot and wishing you comfort wherever you can find it right now
Lanne,
I’m so sorry to hear about your mom
I agree with you that i’ll never get over watching a loved one diminish and pass away. I experienced that with my dad just over 3 weeks ago, so my heart goes out to you.Please take care of yourself during this time,
Kim
Thanks, Lainy. I’ll definitely be talking about you all to her! You’re such a good support system and i’m so thankful to have you guys
This is beautiful, Andrea.
I feel the same way about my dad and its been just a week. The numb and the sad moments will start to meld and become sort of “normal life”. I also hope that soon I will be able to think of the happy healthy dad days before the last few impossibly painful ones.
Kim
Andie,
My heart goes out to you and your family right now. Be together, love each other, cherish the happy memories. My dad’s been gone just over a week now and I know how difficult it is to deal with.
Kim
I’m praying for you, Andie. Your dads symptoms are just like my dads before he went. I hope that he is not in pain.
myfathersdaughter –
my dad was just started on abraxane 2 weeks ago for CC treatment. he’s already gone through multiple other treatments, including gemzar, but his cancer quickly got used to them.
unfortunately we’re so new to this one type that we dont have any info on how its working yet, but ill be sure you keep you in mind if i find out any extra info about it!
Cyndi,
I’m so sorry to hear about Linda’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Kim
